Internship and Job Search Techniques

Each of the many steps in the internship or job search process is equally important. Before searching for a position make sure you are career ready by having a current and relevant resume and cover letter, references who will speak to your skills and strengths and top-notch interviewing skills. To be career ready review the following:

• Resumes
• Cover letters
• Reference and recommendations
• Interviewing
• Employment and salary information

Once you are career ready, you are ready to search for an internship or job. It is important to maximize all possible search options including networking at university sponsored events and independently, online resources and in print resources. Remember, summer internship recruiting begins in September and October.
